FAMU's College of Pharmacy has teamed up with the Apalachee Center, the Big Bend's largest private mental-health facility, to provide training for pharmacy students. The center serves between 5,500 and 6,000 patients with mental-health and substance-abuse needs each year, said CEO Jay Reeve.Through the partnership, FAMU pharmacy students will receive clinical training in psychiatric pharmacy. The program will also provide a post-doctoral mental-health residency in clinical pharmacy services and research.
The initiative between the school and the facility is another example of steps Tallahassee is taking to become a community with a focus on public health while using existing resources. It is a testament to the determination of school officials and private entities to provide crucial services when financial resources are low, but human capital is plentiful.
Mr. Reeve said the partnership will "result in greater access to pharmacy services for some of the most disadvantaged members of our community."
